The real weakness of a tacnet is not the cost, but the enemy's electronic warfare setup.

That, too. Which basically means, everyone on the team needs to be running Encryption, and possibly ECCM (or else have very strong native Signal rating), as well as the TacNet. Oh, and Analyze, to keep intruders out of each 'link. So right there, that's four programs running. That won't all run on a cheap commlink, not at once, not without slowing the link to an absolute crawl.

QUOTE (Falconer @ Mar 10 2013, 01:01 AM)  So while empathy software rating 6 is going to cost you 3grand IIRC (500x rating? away from book), plus the cost of a response/system 6 commlink. No, the cost is 600 nuyen for a furby. Tacnets cost a lot more than that, even spread across the team. You can share emotoys. |
